Prized Amalgam is a lot of fun in a discard/recursion heavy environment. In my cube, I find that you often don't need to be able to hard cast it. I've been treating it almost like a pseudo colorless card. With less discard in your environment, it might prove to be a little narrow in the long...

If you are expecting to slot it into aristocrats with sacrifice and recursion, you might as well consider: Ravenous squirrel I wish it counted land sacrifice too. That would've been a windmill slam for me

Yeah, this tracks with my suspicion. I need to decide how important land destruction really is to my format's goals. Dreams is pretty sick. But it's a one of one effect. I wouldn't want to run multiples of it, and it's not like wizards is itching to print more LD cards. I knew that Land...

Every once in a while when I feel like I have over-supported archetypes and non-essential pieces, I start from scratch slowly adding the most necessary cards one by one. https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/4j9bw The plan is to tweak the list at 360 until it feels like I’ve gotten the most out of...

This is the general core I’m considering: hopeful initiate luminarch aspirant Lion sash Mikaeus, the lunarch Scavenging ooze Benevolent hydra Tireless Tracker Rishkar, peema’s renegade Hardened scales Conclave mentor The ozolith Hangarback walker Walking ballista Arcbound Ravager Stonecoil...

One of the more frustrating things about the +1/+1 counters deck is the volume of 0/0 creatures there are. Having a 1/1 baseline is so much more usable with recursion, and things like birthing pod Eldritch evolution Finale of devastation This might be the piece I needed to finally support the...

Nah, it was only a general hestitancy to bring back the mechanic. One storm card in a draft, and suddenly it seems like an entire archetype is supported. I've been thinking about Darkblast as well. I ran it at lower power levels, and it was always a lot of fun. My favorite is dredging...

I share your position on the Red Rituals and Tendrills, Warrens, etc. For environments like ours, there are enough other ways to support combo these days that are less narrow. I ran the mana doublers at one point, because they were appealing for Turboland as well as the heavy spells decks with...

Stinky boi, for nanner’s and smitty’s reasons

I'm looking forward to the day Cube Cobra's "Top Cards" functions again

Fae of wishes is a very playable wish imo

Plargg, Dean of Chaos ? Additional sifting for your hand, and its second ability can be a mana sink which could also trigger Ascendancy I'm not a huge fan of Crystalline Crawler at your power level tbh. While it can be good in a specific context when you're trying to go off, the rate isn't...

Or phyrexian tower Priest of forgotten gods

I’d say no, but I wouldn’t be a Riptidian if I said there wasn’t an environment where it was possible! There could be a cube out there with recursive creatures and tokens in abundance with a bunch of x-spells :D The difficulty is finding payoffs for altar that don’t culminate in a game...

This is pretty great. Going to the graveyard is so so much stronger in black

Lots of posting today. In trying to determine whether Flame Jab and Raven's Crime would be cute luxuries or valuable pieces in this environment, I started by thinking of the prime context for them: The Raven Man The Raven Man is such a cool card. I enjoy how it has spawned an entirely new...

It used to do a lot of different things. Looking at the vesperlark spotlight in the OP primer from two versions ago: body double emry, lurker of the loch soul herder arcbound ravager triskelion goblin welder bone shredder wall of omens archaeomancer epochrasite apprentice necormancer blood...

These two "green" one drops are almosts for me. The Wurmlet would need to be able trigger multiple times a turn to get the nod over something like Gnarlwood Dryad in my cube (which I don't even run), and the noncreature criteria on the Mite is a bummer.
